Song Jiu said slowly: "At the same time, you must work hard. If you don't work hard, be humble and conscientious, even if Your Majesty protects me, others do not agree with it and impeach them one after another. Your Majesty has to take away his official position."

Zhao Kuangyi's head.

"But you cannot ignore wisdom. When I was young, I didn't know the truth and wanted to pass the imperial examination. However, my poems and essays were not the strengths of my ministers, and I failed the title many times. If I did not change my direction, I would definitely become a common person from now on, and I would even be very depressed at this time. However, I changed my direction and used my strengths to gradually enter the eyes of the late emperor and Your Majesty. This is wisdom."

"Decision-making also requires wisdom. First of all, I talk about the origin of the Jiedushi. The Tang Dynasty implemented the system of government troops. In the early days, the Tang Dynasty was extremely powerful. It often won many times with less and had little casualties. Therefore, the rewards received from each expedition were enough to make up for the military expenses and rewards and pensions. The soldiers were highly motivated and had sufficient arable land to accommodate the families of government troops, so a powerful government troops were created. Later, since the reign of Emperor Gaozong, Wu Zetian gradually took power and Xue Rengui was defeated in Dafeichuan, and the casualties became increasingly serious. Looking at the time when Wu Zetian was in power, the Tang army was killed and killed by the Khitan and Tubo in her hands. "

In the previous life, Song Jiu praised Wu Zetian more than criticized.

I read more historical books in this life and reflected seriously, but it was more criticized than praise. Although Wu Zetian was okay in internal governance, she was too poor in military affairs. After killing many famous generals, she was defeated in every battle, including the Battle of Dafeichuan, the Battle of Qinghai, the Battle of Yinshijiahe, the Battle of Luohanshan, the Battle of Huangzhangu, and the Battle of Dongjishigu. Often, there were as many as 100,000 troops in one defeat. If it were placed in the Battle of Sanchuankou, the Song Dynasty, which shocked the government and the country with only a few thousand casualties, was simply unimaginable.

You can't exaggerate Wu Zetian infinitely just because Wu Zetian is a woman who is an emperor.

"There are huge casualties, insufficient rewards, and the farmland is tight, which creates a vicious cycle. In addition, the speed of recruitment of the government soldiers was slow, and the Tang Dynasty set up a system of military governors. It was better to start with the beginning. After several battles against the outside world, the victory was more than defeated, and the country gradually became stronger. However, because the military generals of the Tang Dynasty also became prime minister, Li Linfu deprived the Han people of the opportunity to lead troops as military governors for their autocracy, and appointed Hu people as military governors to command troops. It is not necessarily my race. Their intentions must be different, such as the party's promotion generals, for the sake of autocracy, Li Linfu deprived the Han people of the Han people of the opportunity to lead troops as military governors. He often appointed Hu people as military governors. It is not necessarily my race. His heart must be different. For example, the party advances to generals.

The army, the Heichi Changzhi, Geshuhan, Gao Xianzhi and others of the Tang Dynasty. However, Emperor Minghuang of Tang became increasingly stupid and infinitely magnified the power of the Jiedushi. An Lushan, the three towns of Pinglu, Fanyang, and Hedong, had administrative power, military power, and financial power. He was also allowed to mint coins. His jurisdiction area was several times better than that of the Northern Han Dynasty, and almost covered most of Hebei. It was even larger than that of Wuyue, so he became rebellious. If he had only one town of Jiedushi. Do he dare to rebel?"

"Not necessarily..." Lu Duoxun wanted to interrupt Song Jiu's words.

"Duke Lu, I know. Later, many vassal states in the Tang Dynasty were not large in jurisdiction, but they did not listen to the court's mobilization. It was even worse during the Five Dynasties, but it was a product of the decline of the country. I am not opposing the court's move, but just talking about the origin of the Jiedushi for decision-making."

"There are two points. In recent years, the border defense forces have always had the upper hand over the Khitan. They have the credit of the generals and the convenience of policies. They can independently mobilize local taxes, make profits from multiple businesses, and have money to recruit warriors, buy spies, and reward soldiers. If they are all taken back, what consequences will they have?"

Not only that, Zhao Kuangyin also treated these bigwigs well. Guo Jinxiu's mansion exceeded the royal scale. When the minister impeached him, Zhao Kuangyin cursed him, asking Guo Jin to make something happen quickly, without any further remarks.

Therefore, Ma Renyu dared to go deep into the army alone and robbed several states northwest of Youzhou. In addition, Tian Qinzuo defeated 60,000 yuan, which made the Khitan talent disappointed.

Otherwise, how could the Khitan sit down and watch the Song Dynasty take back the Southern Tang Dynasty?

I can't say this, Zhao Kuangyi will be very unhappy.

"Secondly, once the Jiedushi is abolished, the general will not know the soldiers and the generals. When the war comes, how can we ensure victory?"

"What do you think?" Zhao Kuangyi asked in a deep voice with a flash of coldness in his eyes.

"The system of Jiedushi is seriously harmful. It is abolished at this time. The upper and lower levels agree. This is the fortune of heaven and the time of heaven. But I think it still requires wisdom and hard work."

“What is effort and wisdom?”

"Trial and wisdom are the positioning of cleverness, absorb the strengths and weaknesses, so as to make correct decisions. These heavenly ministers have been considering their advantages and disadvantages, but they have not fully understood them. But I thought they could be abolished, and they should also retain part. First of all, the Central Plains and the South are not harmful. These military governors can be abolished, allowing officials to govern normally, so that the regime can be concentrated, and the national rule and peace. However, the border areas in the northwest and north must be identified, and there may not be a military governor, but some observation and regiment training may be set up. Moreover, the people in these border areas have little farmland, and most of them are soldiers farming. The court can continue to delegate the financial and tax power to the generals so that they can flexibly and maneuver to deal with the invading enemies. However, the jurisdiction must be further narrowed so that some generals will not have ambitions."

The coldness on Zhao Kuangyi's face finally disappeared, and hesitation appeared.

"Furthermore, people have their own shortcomings and strengths. Literary people are good at governing, and military generals are good at leading troops to fight. Guchen thought that these observation and military commanders must be served as military commanders, and civil servants should not interfere. Finally, the institutionalization of the garrison is made. The soldiers of the garrison are changed every three years and divided into three squads, so that each regiment and military commander understands most of their subordinates and make up for some of the shortcomings of the garrison system that the soldiers do not know the generals and generals do not know the soldiers."

"You guys, what do you think?" Zhao Kuangyi asked at Xue Juzheng, Shen Yilun, Lu Duosun, Cao Bin, Chu Zhaofu, Pan Mei and Wang Renhao.

Xue Juzheng and Shen Yilun pondered, Cao Bin was accustomed to silence, Pan Mei and Wang Renhao had a little power, which was a big change in policy, and it was difficult to interrupt, and Pan Mei still needed to avoid taboos. However, Chu Zhaofu said: "If this is the case, I think it is OK. Not only can I play to my strengths and avoid weaknesses, but I also avoid overcorrecting."

"Then let it be, Lu Qing, come and draft the imperial edict." Zhao Kuangyi said.

It cannot be delayed any more, and it must be executed like thunder to avoid accidents.

When Lu Duosun wrote a draft edict, it could not be called an edict. It must be copied by the master before it can be called a real edict.

Song Jiu said again: "What I just said is the general, and the problem of military forces has not been resolved."

"Speak and listen."

"The late emperor had the disadvantages of punishing the Tang Dynasty's military system and the vassal state system, and he kept the forbidden troops in the capital. However, this disadvantage was even more serious."

“Continue.”

"If Your Majesty wants to hear, can you let me leave the palace? Bring a commoner into the palace?"

"This is not appropriate." Xue Juzheng said.

"It's okay, Song Qing. You can bring him into the palace." Zhao Kuangyi said.

If Zhao Kuangyin is wise and powerful, or the emperor, you are far less than your elder brother in military terms, it is called ignorance.

But Zhao Kuangyi would like to supplement and correct Zhao Kuangyin's policies very much.

Song Jiu was amused and laughed. He left the Political Affairs Hall and brought a beautiful woman in for a long time.

The woman was frightened and didn't know how to polite her.

Song Jiu asked, "What's your name?"

"The girl named He Siniang." The woman replied tremblingly.

"Who is your husband and what business is in?"

"My husband is Li Rui, and he is a soldier in the Tianwu Army."

"He is an imperial guard soldier, why do you want to be a military prostitute?"

"Yi'an, it's a pity that you brought a military prostitute to the palace..." Chen Yilun said.

"Mr. Chen, the problem is serious. Please allow me to lose my courtesy. He, please answer this official."

"The family is poor and has two children. His husband's salary is not enough to support his family, so the family has to be a military prostitute..."

Song Jiu nodded and asked the eunuch to take her down. Then he looked at Zhao Kuangyi and said, "Your Majesty, this is the big problem. Although the imperial court had good intentions, the number of soldiers was as high as more than 300,000, and once there was a war with the north, the number of soldiers would be more. Especially the forbidden soldiers, most of them were in the capital. The capital was expensive, and some bad middle and lower-level generals deducted the salary of the lower-level soldiers, and most soldiers could not support their families. In the past, when the late emperor, they conquered Jinghu, Southern Tang, Bashu and Southern Han, and all prefectures and counties had some wealth. By plundering wealth, some income deficiency could be made up. But the Central Plains were about to be unified, and the enemy was in the north. What kind of wealth could they be plundered?"

"Or the court raises the salary of soldiers so that they can support their families. Mr. Chen calculated that the family plans to have four to five people, and want to be able to barely feed in the capital. In addition, the part deducted by soldiers, the remuneration of generals, the manufacturing and maintenance costs of weapons and armor, it will cost at least one hundred yuan to raise a soldier. Then more than 300,000 soldiers will cost at least 40 million yuan. The country's total income in a year will be spent on soldiers, which will not be enough. But if the original appearance is maintained, there will be a miserable situation of letting his wife be a military prostitute, and even the family's food and clothing cannot be solved. Will they fight actively?"

This is also a big problem.

"And the capital is a prosperous place, which is a good thing. However, the imperial guards are in the capital for a long time, and they will inevitably be infected with some vanity. They are not afraid of vanity, but they will be terrible in the army. These soldiers are fierce soldiers fighting in the south and north, but when they grow old, how can the next group of soldiers be used? Feng Changqing's defeat in Luoyang, is Feng Changqing not a famous general? It is not because he will not lead troops to fight, but the soldiers he recruited are all playboys from the eastern capital Luoyang. How can he be the opponent of the soldiers under An Lushan?"

"What do you think should be done?"

"The intention of the forbidden soldiers to guard the capital is good. With the huge number of forbidden soldiers stationed near the capital, various places dare not scheming a large number of rebellions, but they do not have to be all in the city. The imperial court can place most of the forbidden soldiers in the suburbs around the capital. Nowadays, the population is not dense, and there is a lot of open land to be reclaimed. Then a lot of arable land can be drawn out as permanent farmland for the forbidden soldiers, and some handed over to the military camps as logistics supply, and some of the forbidden soldiers' income is regulated. Then some mulberry forests are drawn out in between, so that their female family can plant mulberry and carry mahjong and increase their income. At the same time, living in the suburbs will also reduce the cost of living. Only when the family has enough food and clothing will the soldiers have confidence in fighting."

It is not very difficult to achieve this at the moment. The difficulty lies in the fact that most soldiers may not be willing to let go of their bodies and farm, but they can be fine-tuned and promoted slowly. Going back, there is a dense crowd and the farmland is tight, so it is impossible to implement it.

"The so-called soldiers are used for combat, not an expensive toy. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate all the elderly, sick, disabled and weak in the military camp. A strict retirement system is established. Except for generals, soldiers reach fifty, their qi and blood have declined, and their combat effectiveness on the battlefield has decreased. Therefore, all of them have to be discharged after the age of fifty. However, the court must take out 200 yuan to support them in their old age, either buying land, operating, buying houses, or living, so that they can have a place to support them in their old age."

"This will cost a lot of money." Xue Juzheng said.

"That's true, but Mr. Xue, have you ever calculated from the other side that if the soldiers are placed in the suburbs, no matter what form of farming, the court does not need to bear their food and cloth. Even if the burden is reduced, the quantity will be reduced. How much money will be spent this year? And there is also an invisible one. These food and cloth cannot be calculated at market prices. They are transported from various places. How much labor will be required along the way? Calculate these savings, how much will be saved in decades, not only two hundred yuan. At the same time, how much labor will be reduced by the people? Moreover, putting them in the suburbs to keep soldiers away from glitz places will also improve the overall quality of the army."

The reason why the Qi family army is not only because of its well-trained and Qi Jiguang's command ability, but also about the fact that Qi Jiguang uses peasants as his soldiers.

Without Qi Jiguang's example, as long as Song Jiu mentioned it, everyone can think of it.

"Finally, the pension system must be formulated. Once there are generous rewards and pensions, the soldiers will not only be motivated when fighting, but also reduce their worries. Such an army is the long-term solution."

If these measures are passed, it will be a big trouble.

But no matter how hard it is, the disadvantages of the Song Dynasty's dethroning martial arts and opposing literature will be weakened.

Moreover, Song Jiu thought about it for a long time, but the reason why he went against his previous actions was still an internal foundation for this trouble.

The Song Dynasty is still in its inception stage, just like a blank piece of paper. It is easier to create a painting, and at least there is much less resistance than when Wang Anshi reformed.

Secondly, Zhao Kuangyi was just worried about most generals in his heart. He wanted to suppress them rather than despise martial arts, although his approach eventually led to the complete light military force of the Song Dynasty.

Furthermore, Zhao Kuangyi was ambitious and liked to make trouble and was not afraid of trouble. This one was similar to the later Song Shenzong.

Song Jiu finished his thoughts, but what he said could not be counted. Xue Juzheng said it would not be counted, and Lu Duoxun could not do it. In fact, at this point, I have to admire Zhao Pu and other powerful ministers. It is so difficult to make the emperor obey the rules. It is only if I have an extremely understanding of psychology, current situation, words, and government affairs.

Don’t just say bad proposals to the country, even good proposals may not make Zhao Kuangyi obey.

Compared with the two, I am too far from Zhao Pu.

But now it’s okay, Zhao Pu has no right to speak, otherwise he would have learned from Cao Bin himself?
